(Finance) – The whole system of small and medium private industry, represented by Confapi, is about to face an autumn recovery “full of unknowns that risk putting entire national production structures on the ground. “The Association therefore asks for immediate measures to avoid a crisis that risks being irreversible.
Many companies, “so far competitive and successfulrisk closure with consequent loss of jobs and market shares or, at best, of falling prey to international investors / speculations, dispersing a wealth that has hitherto been a pillar of our economy “. Confapi, “its businesses and its entrepreneurs, forcefully ask the Government and to all political forces to launch immediately emergency measures. At the same time as arevolve at a European level for some sort of PNRR continental energy sector that has immediate and medium-term objectives. Those priority they must be aimed at supporting all businesses (energy consuming and not) compared to the dear bills. But also to provide detailed guidelines on modalities and implementation of any rationing “.
The medium-term objectives “must include the realization of energy infrastructures, gasifiers, gas pipelines and anything else that is able to expand the national energy supply. We know in fact – reads the Confapi note – that in addition to endogenous factors, such as that of the war in Ukraine, sanctions and counter sanctionsItaly iIn particular, it carries with it a heavy legacy of failed strategic energy policies. Measures are also necessary to allow companies to be able to pay their energy bills in installments also in the last quarter of 2022, providing the obligation of suppliers to grant installments (many are not doing so) without any reservation or discretion. OR stillthe range of beneficiaries of tax credits granted to energy-intensive companies should be enlarged, also considering all those companies that have an incidence greater than 2% regardless of consumption.
In order to incentivize investments in renewable energies, it would also be appropriate to stimulate those of private sector, through tax credits, providing coverage of at least 30% on investments in plants designed for self-consumption or for Energy Community projects. Now, and not when it is too late, it is time to act all together as a country system “.
